For crying out loud google... Can't you secure the rights to Dr Who 1963-1989 in it's entirety.. Please rectify this.. There is far far too much generic content on Google play....Also how can that be so expensive for a trillion dollar planet owning corporation,....I expect National Industrial secrets to have been purchased more cheaply and easily than securing the bloody rights to DrWho.

I know the BBC famously deleted a lot of old episodes of Doctor Who, but there is definitely more left than this. C'mon Google, between yourselves and the BBC you could get the full 50 years of Who on here. There are plenty that would pay for those season passes...

I hate new Who though because they have ran out of ideas. Classic Who is better, especially Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker. My favourite episode is warriors of the deep- a Fifth doctor story which reintroduced the Silurians and the Sea Devils.
